Feeding Your Cat:
Know the Basics of Feline Nutrition

Diet is the brick and mortar of health. The www.catinfo.org website lays out some often-ignored principles of feline nutrition and explains why cats have a better chance at optimal health if they are fed a quality canned food diet instead of dry kibble. (Lisa A. Pierson, DVM)

Plants Can Poison Your Cat !

Cats like to chew on grass in order to regurgitate hairballs. This habit gets cats into trouble! Many outdoor plants and houseplants are poisonous, even in small quantities. Indoors, cats will readily substitute a houseplant for grass. Outdoors they may unwittingly choose poisonous plants that should be removed from your garden. <MORE...>

Cats or Kittens?

Consider bringing a young cat into your family instead of a kitten. Children love young cats just as much as they love kittens, and it’s usually easier to teach a child how to properly care for a cat. Kittens tend to be, well, energized and a bit wild!   “Contessa” (see photo) is about 3 years old, loves people, and is superb with children.  Kittens are a gamble as to what their personality will turn out to be…   Cats like Contessa are great fun for kids. Contessa has been adopted but please go to "Our Cats" to see other cats who need homes !"
 

If your indoor cat should accidentally
get out of your home...

One of the first things to do is to put food and water right by the door that the cat escaped from. Do this immediately and put some kind of shelter, or covered bed close by. Most cats do not go too far (unless chased away by other animals) and if you call the cat softly, throughout the day and especially at dusk and during the evening, your cat may hear a familiar voice and feel comfortable about coming to get the food. Remember, if the cat is an indoor cat, he or she will be terrified about being in the big, wide world and will hide as much as possible. If the cat can hear or smell someone familiar, it may come for food. Persist at doing this for a couple of weeks. In addition, put posters up in your area with a photo of your cat and contact the CRD Pound and SPCA to alert them that your cat is missing.

Homes Needed for Semi-Feral Cats & Kittens:

The cats shown on this site are domesticated, and (most) are accustomed to living as either indoor or indoor-outdoor cats in real homes. We recommend that, if possible, cats should be kept indoors all the time. But some cats do need to be allowed outdoors for an hour or two each day, provided this does not endanger them in any way.

Many of the cats that need our help, however, are semi-feral. We are desperate for homes for these semi-feral cats and kittens. These cats will likely never be completely domesticated but will make wonderful companions for other cats. They should be able to be indoor-outdoor cats and will just require a warm place to sleep and to be fed. They will be no trouble at all, you will hardly know you have them. In time, they may warm up to human company but they may not. The only other alternative to finding homes for these cats is to release them where they will live a very difficult, short life.

If you can find it in your heart to help one of these cats, please call Beverly at 655-6451 for more information. I have one such cat in my house, Dr. Phil, he is the best friend to most of my cats and will even look after kittens who have been orphaned.

About Cats Cradle Animal Rescue:

Cat's Cradle Animal Rescue was founded  to rescue, rehabilitate, spay / neuter, and re-home distressed, abandoned, or neglected cats and dogs considered un-adoptable by reason of health, age, appearance, or temperament. We operate in Victoria BC, and the surrounding municipalities of the Capital Regional District, including Sidney and the Saanich Peninsula. We do not have a shelter. All animals that come into our care are placed in foster homes until they are adopted. The society is a non-profit organization. The society's operating funds are donated by individuals and corporations, or result from our fundraising efforts. <MORE...>
